Mammoth rally condemns attack on holy shrine of Hazrat Zainab (AS)

A huge rally was staged here on Sunday to protest against the terrorist attack on holy shrine of Hazrat Syedda Zainab (AS), granddaughter of Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) in Damascus.

Thousands of males and females as well as children marched from Numaish Chowrangi to Tibet Centre under the aegis

of Majlis-e-Wahdat-e-Muslimeen, Imamia Students Organisation and Markazi Tanzeem-e-Aza.

They were raising slogans against the takfiri terrorists who are massacring innocent Syrian Arab Muslims and who have desecrated the holy shrines of Hazrat Ibrahim (PBUH) and Hazrat Hujr ibn Adi. The mourners beat their chest and raised the slogans of Ya Hussain (AS) and Ya Mahdi (AS) when they began protest.

â€œDeath to Israel, Down with the U.S., No to terrorism, Death to takfiri terrorists,â€ they chanted while carrying banners and placards inscribed with the slogans such as: â€œAttack on the sacred shrine of Hazrat Zainab (AS) is tantamount to attack on the holy shrine of Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH) and Our lives are sacrificed for the sake of Syedda Zainab (AS)â€

Speaking to the protestors, Allama Aijaz Behishti, Maulana Munawar Naqvi, Allama Sadiq Taqvi and Allama Deedar Jalbani of the MWM, Athar Imran of the ISO and Allama Jafar Raza and Ali Hussain of the Tanzeem-e-Aza condemned the terrorist attack at the gate of holy shrine of Hazrat Zainab (AS) in Syria.

They said that from Karachi to Skardu, Shia Muslims wearing black suits and armbands have come out of their houses and gathered on main roads. Their protest demonstrations are going on in all small and big cities of all the five provinces of Pakistan.

They demanded of all religious scholars of Islamic Ummah to issue fatwa against the takfiri terrorists who are desecrating the holy shrines of Ahl-e-Bait (AS) and As-hab (RA) in Syria and other places.

They said that takfiri terrorists have defamed Islam and Muslims across the world and they deserve capital punishment from the Ummah as a whole. They said that all Muslims are hurt by the blasphemous acts of the salafi takfiri terrorists in Syria.

They said that the global imperialism led by the U.S. and Zionism-led-by Israel have hired takfiri mercenaries to fight their proxy war against Islam and Muslims. They said that war on Syrians is tantamount to defend the Zionist Israeli regime and a failed attempt to deflect public attention from the heinous crimes of the Zionist Israeli regime.

They said that all Muslims of the world would not tolerate desecration of the sanctities of Islam and Muslims. They said that worldwide condemnation of the takfiris is a proof that they were rejected elements. They demanded the U.N. to stop the U.S. and its allies from meddling into internal affairs of Syria.
